TIP
Using External Performance Memories
In order to store your Performance data in an External Performance memory or to use an External Performance memory already
saved on a USB flash-memory device, the USB flash-memory device in question must be plugged into the CP1. When you do so,
the instrument will behave in a number of different ways depending on whether or not it already contains an External Performance
memory and when it was last plugged in. Each of these actions is described below.
Root directory does not contain an External Performance memory:
As soon as you plug in a USB flash-memory device, the CP1 will check its root directory for an External Performance memory, and
none exists, it will create one in the form of a file named EXTBANK.C1E.
Root directory contains an External Performance memory:
If an External Performance memory already exists in the root directory of the USB flash-memory device, the action taken by the
CP1 will — as described below — depend on whether or not the device has already been plugged in and removed after turning
on the instrument.
• Not previously plugged in after turning on CP1:
When the USB flash-memory device in question is plugged in for the first time after turning on the CP1, data from its External
Performance memory will be automatically loaded into the instrument’s DRAM.
NOTE
If a different USB flash-memory device has already been plugged in and removed after turning on the CP1, the instrument will operate in line
with the description from
Previously plugged in after turning on CP1
below.
CAUTION
Whenever an External Performance memory from a USB flash-memory device is loaded into the CP1, all External Performance data
already contained within the instrument’s DRAM (see page 39) and any Performance currently within the Edit Buffer will be
overwritten. Before plugging in a USB flash-memory device, therefore, ensure that any important irreplaceable External
Performances contained within the internal DRAM or the Edit Buffer are stored.
• Previously plugged in after turning on CP1:
Whenever you plug in a USB flash-memory device that has already been plugged in and removed at least once after turning on
the CP1, you will be asked whether or not its External Performance memory should be loaded into the Edit Buffer. If the External
Performance memory loaded into the CP1 has been modified and contains irreplaceable Performances with unsaved
modifications, be sure to press Knob 5 (
NO [PUSH]
) at this time.
